Laura Condon, Ph.D.
Laura Condon is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences. She received a BS in Environmental Engineering from Columbia University, and got her MS and PhD in Hydrologic Science and Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines. In addition to her academic experience, she worked as an engineering consultant (2008-2011) and as a hydrologist for the Bureua of Reclamation (2011-2015) working on water resources management issues in Colorado and across the Western US. Prior to joining the faculty at UA, Dr. Condon was an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Syracuse University.
Dr. Condon is interested in large-scale water sustainability and the dynamic behavior of managed hydrologic systems in the context of past development and future climate change. Her work combines physically based numerical modeling with observations and statistical techniques to evaluate large systems using rigorous quantitative methods.
